AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Beats GeForce RTX 2070 in a Spectrum of Games
The 9.75 TFLOPs figure in the leaked specifications slide of the Radeon RX 5700 XT "Navi" graphics card from earlier today got many guessing if AMD is essentially putting RX Vega-level performance into a GPU that sips a fraction of its power. It turns out that AMD's claim of the RX 5700 XT being faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 wasn't just specific to the odd super-optimized game title, but a whole selection of games, many of which some with GameWorks varnish, some of which even support NVIDIA RTX.
AMD's [leaked] performance slide for the Radeon RX 5700 XT sees the card beat the RTX 2070 in "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey," "Battlefield V," "CoD: Black Ops 4," "Far Cry: New Dawn," "Metro Exodus," Tom Clancy's "The Division 2," "The Witcher 3," and Tom Clancy's "Ghost Recon: Wildlands." The card is also striking distance behind the RTX 2070 at "Shadow of the Tomb Raider," and Sid Meier's "Civilisation 6." All games in this slide are tested at 1440p resolution, with in-game settings maxed out (although we're waiting to read the Endnotes on whether "max out" in NVIDIA's context means turning on RTX on some of these games). The RX 5070 XT beats the RTX 2070 by as much as 22 percent in "Battlefield V," and 15 percent in "Metro Exodus," and is claimed to be within single-digit percentage ahead of the RTX 2070. There's another picture of the RX 5070 XT reference board in this slide, and unless we're mistaken, we spy two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. We'll learn more about this card in a few hours from now.

In a large gaming case with adequate airflow, blowers are unnecessary and offer limited real-world benefits but in a compact PC or even an OEM PC from HP/Dell/Lenovo etc - they will be superior in both performance and noise.
All of the Nvidia Founders Edition blowers are excellent, quiet, and compact coolers. By contrast, the third-party partner coolers are bulkier and make the card flimsier (necessitating backplates and bracing). In a lot of cases the larger radius fans make the gpu too tall to physically fit in a lot of OEM cases, because they stand far too proud of the PCIe slot retention bracket.
There is nothing superior about their performance or noise... let's be honest here.
The coolers do not make the card flimsy. It does make them heavier, however. Sure, some GPUs with a different cooler don't fit in OEM cases, but, you simply buy one that can.
Your affection for blower type coolers is funny. :p
The answer is yes, the 295x2, price and heat are irrelevant.
I was simply correcting someone who said that we need to get rid of them; That's a sweeping generalisation that would be wrong and cause problems for a good few people.
I have the 2060FE which comes with axial fans and the bad news is that I won't be able to pass it down to my HTPC in the future - I'll have to sell it on instead. Not exactly a huge deal but it's an inconvenience that wouldn't exist if it used a more traditional exhausting blower. I will also be changing my old Haswell/DDR3 machine for one of the new Ryzens later this year and my ideal case (A Silverstone SG05) works best with blowers. I'll need to choose between keeping the 2060FE and dealing with the extra noise and heat issues it causes, choosing a larger case, or sticking with the SG05 and replacing the GPU. Yet another problem caused by the axial cooler.
I'm already loaded up over 6 GB VRAM just a small mission in DCS, let alone all the new maps and texture upgrades coming in the next few years and in the forseeable future.

It may soon even catch up with RX 460…
